A multiple accident that occurred at the Ezza-mgbo axis of the
ever-busy Abakaliki-Enugu yesterday evening, claimed the lives of a
pregnant woman and a man believed to be a professor at the Federal
University, Ndufu-Alike Ikwo, Ebonyi State.

According to facebook user, Nwaze Francis, the accident was caused by
poor visibility arising from the over four-hour heavy down pour in
Ebonyi State yesterday.

An eyewitness said that a trailer and a Toyota Camry from opposite
directions had a head-on collision resulting in partial blockage of the
road. This led to the death of the said professor and his driver on the
spot.

While sympathizers were racing to the scene to rescue the survivors, a
Hyundai car carrying five passengers rammed into the trailer killing
all the occupants.

A young man said to be the professor’s son and a woman survived the accident and are currently receiving medical attention.

Officials of the Federal Road Safety who arrived the scene of the
accident immediately blocked the other part of the road and evacuated
the dead bodies.
